The EMPOWER Trial - The Carillon Mitral Contour System® in Treating Heart Failure With FMR

Cardiac Dimensions, Inc.300 enrolled

Overview

The objective of this prospective, randomized, double- blinded (patient and assessors), sham-controlled clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of the CMCS in treating heart failure with functional regurgitation (FMR).

A total of 300 subjects will be randomized at up to 100 investigational sites in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Subjects will be randomized into one of two study groups using a 1:1 (Intervention : Control) ratio. Study subjects who are eligible for this clinical study will undergo a transthoracic echocardiographic examination prior to randomization to evaluate the inclusion criteria associated with the severity of mitral regurgitation. A coronary angiogram will be performed to evaluate the coronary artery anatomy and a venogram to assess the suitability of the coronary sinus/great cardiac vein (CS/GCV) for placement of the Carillon implant. If the subject meets the anatomic requirements for the Carillon implant placement, the subject will be randomized. Subjects who meet all eligibility criteria will be randomized into one of two study groups (Intervention or Control). Subjects randomized to the Intervention group will undergo the Carillon implant procedure. Subjects randomized to the Control group will experience an index procedure similar to the Intervention group (without implant placement) to ensure they will not be able to deduce the group assignment based on the type of intervention or time associated with the procedure. After the study subjects are discharged, the subjects' primary care specialists (cardiologist/heart failure physician) and clinical investigation site staff will coordinate follow-up evaluations. Subjects will be evaluated at one (1), six (6), twelve (12), eighteen (18) and twenty-four (24) months post-randomization, to assess long-term safety, and functional and clinical status. After the 24-month evaluation, all subjects will be unblinded. All Intervention and Control subjects will be followed with an abbreviated annual contact and echocardiogram for an additional three (3) years, for a total of five (5) years.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Symptomatic heart failure with functional (secondary) mitral regurgitation of at least 1+ (mild) severity 2. NYHA II, III, or IV 3. Six Minute Walk distance ≥ 100 meters and ≤ 600 meters 4. Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction ≤ 50% 5. LVEDD: * ≥ 55 mm (women) * ≥ 57 mm (men) 6. LVESD ≤ 75 mm 7. Corrected NT-proBNP \> 1200 pg/ml measured within 60 days of randomization, and/or one or more heart failure hospitalizations within one year prior to consent or one or more outpatient visits for intensification of heart failure therapy within one year prior to consent. 8. Optimal Guideline directed heart failure medical therapy assessed by the Central Review Committee 9. Age ≥ 18 years old 10. Carillon implant can be sized and placed in accordance with the IFU 11. The subject has been informed of the nature of the trial and agrees to its provisions, including the possibility of randomization to the Control group and returning for all required post-procedure follow-up visits, and has provided written informed consent Exclusion Criteria: 1. Presence of a mechanical or bio-prosthetic mitral valve or, mitral valve annuloplasty, or leaflet repair device 2. Significant organic mitral valve pathology (e.g., moderate or severe myxomatous degeneration, with or without mitral leaflet prolapse, rheumatic disease, full or partial chordal rupture) 3. Severe tricuspid regurgitation associated with right ventricular dysfunction and enlargement 4. Severe mitral annular calcification 5. Severe aortic stenosis 6. Expected to require any cardiac surgery, including surgery for coronary artery disease (CAD) or valve disease within one (1) year 7. Chronic, severe, medical conditions or pathology, other than heart failure, that will prevent likely survival beyond twelve (12) months or any other medical condition that, in the judgement of the Investigator or Central Review Committee, makes the patient a poor candidate for this study * An entire list of eligibility is available in the clinical investigational plan

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Primary Safety Objective - Freedom from Major Adverse Events

Freedom from a composite of major adverse events (defined as Device Embolization, Vessel Erosion, Cardiac Perforation, and occurrence of cardiac surgery or percutaneous coronary intervention) in the Intervention group is greater than performance goal of 90%.

Time frame: 12 months

Primary Efficacy Objective 1 - Hierarchical Clinical Composite

To demonstrate that the CMCS (Intervention) group is superior to the Control group on the hierarchical composite endpoint of death, Cardiac transplantation or LVAD implantation, unplanned percutaneous or surgical mitral valve intervention, unplanned heart failure hospitalization, change in KCCQ overall summary score, and change in six-minute walk distance at 24 months (analyzed when the last subject completes 12 months of follow-up.)

Time frame: 24 months

Secondary Outcomes

Secondary Efficacy Objective 1- Regurgitant Volume

To compare regurgitant volume change relative to control from baseline through 12 months of follow up in patients with at least MR grade 2+ at baseline

Time frame: 12 months

Secondary Efficacy Objective 2 - Change in LV End-diastolic Volume

To compare the change from baseline left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) relative to the Control group.

Time frame: 12 months

Secondary Efficacy Objective 3 - Change in NYHA

To compare the change from baseline in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification, relative to Control, at twelve (12) months

Time frame: 12 months

Secondary Efficacy Objective 4 - Hierarchical Clinical Composite

To compare the first four components of the hierarchical primary efficacy endpoint, relative to Control, analyzed when the last subject completes 12 months of follow up and use all available data up to twenty-four (24) months

Time frame: 12 months

Secondary Efficacy Objective 5 - Heart Failure Hospitalizations

To compare total number of HFH, relative to Control, analyzed when the last subject completes 12 months of follow-up and use all available data up to 24 months

To compare the change improvement from baseline in six-minute walk distance (6MWD), relative to Control, at twelve (12) months

Time frame: 12 months
